What Harold had not understood about that Wednesday four weeks prior was that the time he received from his fellow commuter was, in fact, three full minutes later than the actual time and, therefore, three full minutes later than the time to which his watch and life had been previously set.
Apa Harold tidak mengerti tentang Rabu empat minggu sebelum adalah bahwa waktu yang ia terima dari sesama komuter itu, pada kenyataannya, tiga menit penuh kemudian daripada waktu sebenarnya dan, karena itu, tiga menit penuh kemudian daripada waktu yang arloji dan kehidupan telah ditetapkan sebelumnya.
